Reviews for Dragonball Z Episode 2

[Bezman]

dumb

The title screen is awesome.

I think using some photos/pics works OK - specially the earth. if you want to appeal to more folk though, I'd suggest taking more time over the backgrounds. Maybe take out the black lines and put in more detail. And redraw the characters with more detail.

Gohan slamming into the ground was pretty funny

The sound was quality

Goku's dialogue was just dumb - his first line after seeing his brother just makes him sound like an idiot and the 2nd line makes no sense.

Try putting dialogue and text in boxes or at least choose your fonts and colours a bit more judiciously. Using verdana just seems wrong in such a violent flash. Maybe even use a bitmapped font?

There are good elements here, but overall I felt underwhelmed by the whole thing.

Not great...

Hmmm, i am a fan of the dragonball Z series and you didnt portray this very well, the storyline wasnt accurate for one thing, Tien and chaotzu werent at Kame house when raditz arrived, and Goku and the rest were already there when he arrived.

The graphics werent great, very inconsistant is about the only way i can describe it, there were hand drawn characters mixed with sprites which didnt look good at all. There were also cut and pasted pictures. The overall presentation for this wasnt great at all. The title screen was cool though.

The animation wasnt great, kinda choppy at some parts, and the sound was ok, good music but voice acting would of made it so much better, and a better script as well, as you made out goku to be a moron, throwing Gohan into the ground, and the way he talked to Raditz.

Overall it was pretty weak, a bad rehashing of the second DBZ episode, it needs more effort and research for this to become a good flash. Try harder next time.

Graphics - 5
Sound - 5
Animation - 5

We're fans of Dragonball , Z, and Gt and we can portray it however we want, we made it and obviously we did not want the series the same if u watched Episode 1. All characters were sprites. It was an experimental series using sprites. I understand the animations are choppy, they were Snes... We wish we could have voice acted, it would have been much funnier, we agree. The script is an original DBZ comedy story. Throwing Gohan is supposed to be funny, we dont see why you get offended by such actions. It may need more effort that u want, but research is 110% because we are aware of DBZ that isnt even out yet. The Movie. Have fun.
